I wanted something a bit less stiff than the MX80 but just as head heavy (or more). I wasn't particarly fond of the colour scheme of the MX70 but the MX-JJS looks wicked.

That's exactly what I've been looking for too . A racket that is a bit more head heavy and a bit less stiff than the MX80. And it seems through my initial findings that the MX JJS could be that very racket.

Now I just need my foot to heal so I can actually use it in a real game

I've now had a few simple hits with the racket from just playing outside. Just a few simple drives, clears and half smashes.

I would now like to revoke what I said about the JJS's stiffness being closer to the MX70. After playing with it, the stiffness feels like it's actually in between the MX80 and the MX70. Maybe even slightly closer to the MX80.

Now onto the "feel" of the racket itself...it's very hard to describe. It's not quite as crisp as the MX80 but it's still very "communicative" and raw. I would describe the "feel" of the racket as extremely solid. It feels almost metallic. My slightly tighter than normal BG-80 strings might be the cause of the more metallic feeling but there's definitely more to it than that. It just feels rock solid and stable when hitting. My half smashes also felt great. The racket is definitely powerful but better than the MX80? I don't know yet.

I am now convinced that the graphene is doing something in this racket. It has the most solid and stable feeling frame I've ever tried. I just hope this translates to better power!
